I believe the reason that the USS New Jersey is docked in Camden is because that is where the Political RATs are centered in NJ and it was a political favor to the local corrupt politician...
So what, I live here too and I'm a republican. BTW do you know anything about New Jersey? The Earle Naval station is a weapons depot and warship reloading facility built extending out to sea, which is extremely off limits for security and safety reasons. An odd place for a ship museum open to the public, eh?
